When I go to Australia, it mostly is to visit family. I very rarely take pictures these days as I shake a little much, and I lost my cameras to my X wife twenty odd years ago and never replaced them. Besides I prefer the coffee table picture books. I think those photographers take much better pictures than I ever could. Hmm, Australian healthcare inefficient and wasteful unless you are critically ill. Far too much effort for some health staff to give a damn about somebody and their needs. Then again if the individual does not look after themselves, what can anyone do? That is why it is so very important for all of us to be as knowledgeable about our condition as we possibly can be. We will have Relapsing Remitting ms (RRms) far longer than any single doctors career, so it is up to us to know about our condition.
As for health care, I believe it is the quality of the individual assisting "YOU" that can really be a plus. Not so much the Government or private sector program. "YOU" have RRms not them. "YOU" lie awake at three am wondering what next, not them. "YOU" are important to yourself, perhaps not so much to them, I am sure I am not on my Doctors mind at 3 am, unless of course. I call him. Which I do not do, at least often.
Manage your very own healthcare as much as "YOU" possibly can. Do not let others determine your health and future outcomes for "YOU". RRms asks "YOU" to give a damn about yourself. To do what has to be done so that "YOU" can walk down that aisle one day. To have lived a life that "YOU" can be proud of.
Be active in yourself, be proud of what "YOU" can achieve, even if sometimes "YOU" fail, at least "YOU" tried. Never not try, never give up on yourself. Others may, but that is not for "YOU". That sobbing person in the cold dark, damp corner is not "YOU. Remember what I have said, "YOU CAN" do this illness. It is only RRms and "you are far too strong to let it stop "YOU".
